On this page will be found a clear synopsis
of the business dont, at the ('o,nferi nce, day by
day, and On the first page will be .e'en • quaint
and touching erticle by our special contributor
,Ajax; who took in some of the proceedings.
A few notes are also given here, to serve as •
sort of intrtxhiction to the final list of stations.
The Conference on the whole was • mast
pleasant and sucebssful one. The town was
incest inviting looking, and the umbrageous
trees lining our broad streets, under the genial
and fructifying influences of a June sun gratx-
fully put on yet more leaf each day until the
admiring visitors took their leave. The hospi-
tality of the people of Galerieh was favorably
commented upon. There was no visible friction
in the Conference between the various bodies
forming the Methodist union_ 1)r. Aylesworth
said it was one of the bappies:tconferences helmet
atendel in thirty years, and mal.y of the happy
brethren said "Amen : "
THS ORDINATION CEREMONY.
The ordination, which ceremony took place in
North street church on Sunday morning, was a
solemn and attractive service. To the people of
Gotlerich it had a peculiar interest, as two of the
candidates fur the ministry had been stationed
iu Coderich, and the third had relatives 'in this
neighborhood. The sermon by Rev. A. ('arman,
D.D., General Superintendent, who preached on
the occasion, wa.s vigorous and practical (See
our report of it on2.) The platform was
tastefully dwi
ecorate• th flowers:, the choir was
a large one,the building was packed to the doors
until neither ingress nor egress could be hal by
way of the aisles, and a hush almost as deep as
that which once prevailed in Heaven for " the
space of half an hour," rested on the assembly
as the hands of tive of the " brethren
were laid on the heads of the three candidates for
the work of the Gospel. The yotmg men who
took the ordination vows were : John H. Car-
son and G. F. Salton, each of whom have served
t-. one year in Goderich, and R. C. Burton. They
all enter the work with a hopeful record.
PERSONAL NOM.
Dr. Griffin, president of the Conference, grows
o1.1 handsomely. He is rather of fuller habit
than when we knew him nearly a score of years
ago, and his wavy hair is now silvered. His
face was made to wear a smile, yet he can be
quite severe at, times. His rather drawling tone
is just the vehicle to Farry- the quaint humor and
irony'.hich bubbles forth continually from him.
D. C. McDowell, ex -president, is a man who
appears to take life seriously. He is rather spare
in tauild, but full of vigor. He is a good moan
T. M. Campbell, the new secretary, needs no
description. He i.a roan throughandthrongh, and
is one of the most earnest and useful ministers_---
in the conference.
J. W. Holmes, ex -secretary, is an Irishman by
birth, descent or education, for " his speech be-
wrayeth him,' /He is above the middle height,
and wears a sanity beard thin at the sides. He
is a good preacher, and a capital man of business
at a conference. To know him is to respect him.
Shrewdnees and gaxl-nature. unite in the ex-
pression of 1)r. .4ylesworth's dark eyes. His
auburn hair falls backward in luxuriant curls,
and his appearitnee-is-- etriki rand commanding.
Ile is a veteran temperance worker.
